The FNET Country Risk Rating uses publicly available information on country risks and known-human rights risk drawn from public sources and best practice to produce a low, medium, or high-risk score which is intended to inform a company’s ethical trade risk assessment. It is part of FNET Risk Assessment tool which combines the country risk rating with risks associated with labour types and industries to provide a common understanding of ingredient/raw material risk.
The FNET Risk Assessment tool encourages companies to enter commercial information against which to assess their ethical trade risks in order to be able to prioritise the resources they have for managing ethical trade and identify appropriate additional due diligence requirements. If you want to learn more about the full risk assessment tool, please contact [email protected] who can also share further details on wider membership benefits.
The Food Network for Ethical Trade (FNET) connects major UK food retailers, manufacturers, suppliers and a range of small, medium and large food companies to build more ethical trade by identifying and tackling human rights issues in food supply chains.
